Hi,
I'm trying to get a Tesla T4 working under Debian 12.
So far I've tried two approaches:
1. Using the Debian provided drivers, per
https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
2. Using the nVidia provided drivers installed via runfile, per
https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/tesla/tesla-installation-notes/index.html
For 1 (installing the drivers in the debian nonfree repository),
everything seems to install fine but the drivers don't load properly.
Systemctl returns the following:
$ systemctl status systemd-modules-load
× systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules

When I try to use the runfile (specifically, this file:
https://us.download.nvidia.com/tesla/535.54.03/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-535.54.03.run)
it is unable to read the kernel headers that I have installed (if I
don't specify a location, it says it can't find them, no matter which
location I specify, it finds something unexpected about what's there).
Any help is appreciated!
PS: Secureboot is disabled, I get the following from mokutil:
$ mokutil --sb-state
SecureBoot disabled
